Each summer, the former US president Barack Obama handpicks a selection of tracks that have piqued his interest, across various genres to add to his highly anticipates summer playlist. 

Earning a spot on Obama's coveted playlist is no small feat and This year, amidst a diverse line-up of tracks, Christian rapper, Nobigdyl, made the cut with his song "Parabolic" the only Christian/Gospel added to the playlist. 
 
The artist is renowned for his ability to weave profound narratives into his music. His song "Parabolic" is a beautiful testament to this talent. It takes listeners on an intimate journey through his experiences growing up as a black Christian boy in the rural South, presenting a narrative that's deeply personal and incredibly poignant. 
 
Sharing his joy at this accolade, Nobigdyl took to Instagram and reposted the playlist with an endearing caption: “A song I wrote about my experience as a black Christian boy raised in the rural south + recorded in my garage is on President Obama’s summer playlist."
